Trusted shower tray repair in Trelowth

What affects the price in Trelowth

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Trelowth without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelowth

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Trelowth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we are called out for in Trelowth

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

FAQs for Trelowth

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Trelowth?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL26 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
